Everything close by, little space

Nieuwland comes out at a 9.0 and the tension sits inside a single pillar. Wealth & income stalls at 6.7 even though almost three in ten households belong to the highest income group and property value is well above the national median; what holds the figure down is the share of social assistance, more than twice the Dutch level, and vacancy that sits slightly above it. Two extremes in the same streets.

The 5.9 for quiet & nature is a matter of density: this is solidly built up, with a share of greenery that only just exceeds the national middle. Traffic noise, by contrast, plays no part here. For families the school six hundred metres away produces a 7.5, and the offence rate stays below the national median, with strikingly little violence.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nieuwland a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Nieuwland comes out at 19 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Nieuwland?

In Nieuwland the police recorded 47 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.

How is the grade for Nieuwland calculated?

Nieuwland scores 9.0 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Nieuwland lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
